£1,250.00
A very desirable early 1930’s cap, circa 1932 -4 .These cap were usually worn by HJ leaders. The cap is constructed of light brown cloth, with two ventilation holes on each side and yellow piping on top. The leather peak shows some crazing and the cap is complete with the 1st pattern eagle and enamelled HJ pin badge. Inside is the early brown leather sweatband, with a reddish-brown oilcloth lining . This is a pre – RZM cap so no label – it’s never had one. The cap is dirty but retains its character . A very hard item to come across of an early Hitler Youth cap.
